Ipswich will seal a place in the Premier League if they avoid defeat in today’s season finale at home to Huddersfield Town which would consign Leeds to the play-offs, even if Daniel Farke’s Whites beat final day visitors Southampton.

Speaking to Sky Sports F1, Sheeran revealed that he has now signed up to sponsor Ipswich next season but declared his fear about the possibility of Leeds demoting the Tractor Boys back to the play-offs in which he says they would be “destined” to lose to rivals Norwich City.

“I have signed on to sponsor them next season” revealed Sheeran. “I am like if they get into the Prem, it's not going to pay for itself.

"If Leeds lose, we are in, if Leeds win and we win, we are in, if Leeds win and we draw, we are in, but if Leeds win and we don't win (or draw) we are kaput.

"But I don't want to do play-offs because what's going to happen is we will get to the end of the play-offs and it will be Ipswich v Norwich and Norwich will knock us out. That would be destined.

"It is a shame to miss the game but I have just bumped into a load of Ipswich fans here and we are all going to meet up and watch it together. Tractor Boys on tour."
